Possible course topics include, but are not limited to, epidemiologic methods, disease surveillance, food hygiene, and zoonotic diseases. There may also be opportunities to teach at the veterinary professional level.

Individuals with a veterinary medical background are encouraged to apply. Broad collaborative opportunities are available, including the potential to work with clinical veterinarians within the VMBS; members of interdisciplinary faculties in genetics, toxicology, environmental health, reproductive biology, neuroscience, and the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program; the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory; the Institute for Infectious Animal Diseases; the Texas A&M Health Science Center including the School of Medicine and the School of Public Health; practicing veterinarians in the community; and members of local, state, and federal government agencies. Additional opportunities exist to establish research collaborations with VMBS faculty members located at the Veterinary Education, Research, &Outreach (VERO) campus in Canyon, Texas (https://vetmed.tamu.edu/vero/) and at expanding the Higher Education Center at McAllen (HECM) (https://mcallen.tamu.edu/), located near the Texas-Mexico border.
